This morning at 6:45 it was 4 degrees C, clear blue sky, about 30″ after sunrise. About half of the moon was visible. So I grabbed my Nikon P1000 and tripod and took some shots and video.

At this time of day with the sun newly risen some atmospheric wavering is expected. Earthquakes due to passing trucks.

But I am quite pleased with these first efforts on the “moon” setting.

P.S. on closer inspection, the stills were shot at only at only 1mb, and 600mm lens setting. I will be able to get much sharper images at the full 16mb, and digitally enlarge them with post processing. Still plenty to learn about this camera.
